We are a ballet-inspired fitness and lifestyle brand created by professional ballerina Mary Helen Bowers. The Ballet Beautiful workout uses classical ballet training to target and strengthen muscles that dancers use in their everyday training. Mat work and floor barre movements are mixed with barre work, stretches and low-impact ballet cardio to shape and elongate powerful ballet muscles through the legs, butt, core, and upper body while building elegant posture. Built upon the artistry and athleticism of classical ballet, we offer a fresh and uniquely artistic approach to exercise, well-being, and health. No dance experience or expensive equipment required!

Ballet Beautiful trains with members in over 130 countries worldwide through an online monthly Custom Workout subscription. We also offer single-purchase streaming videos and a region-free collection of best-selling DVDs. Ballet Beautiful allso offers exclusive ONLINE group classes and one-on-one online private training.

Yes! We accept purchases from anywhere in the world and ship internationally. Please note: Each country has different regulations regarding international purchases and deliveries. We recommend checking with your local post office if you have not placed an international order before and would like more information about customs policies in your country. Please check our return policy for details. Customers outside of the USA are responsible for any custom fees associated with international delivery.

Yes! All of the DVDs on our website are region 0, so they will play on all international DVD players.

It varies depending on the country, but we generally ask that you allow around 10-14 business days for shipping international orders. Depending on the customs policies and procedures in your country, it could take more or less than two weeks to be delivered. We ship to all countries for a flat rate of $29.99. Some countries may charge additional customs fees, which is regulated by each individual government and can vary. Please contact your local postal service for more information about your country’s policies.

We accept exchanges, or returns for store credit, for most of the items on our site within 30 days including unworn slippers and some activewear (skirts, sweaters, wraptops) if the tags are still attached. Please note, all DVDs, leotards and tights are final sale.

You can find our Return Policy here, which details how to go about returning your item! Please be sure to include a note in your package for our orders team, stating what you are exchanging for or if you’d prefer to return for store credit. If you have any questions about your purchase or return, please email us at customerservice@balletbeautiful.com for assistance.

After purchasing a streaming video you can watch it again and again, without restriction.

To access your purchased videos, log into your account on our website. If you are already logged in, click on the “My Account” icon at the top right corner of the page. Once you are on the “My Account” page, click on the tab labeled “Streaming Library”. This will take you to your personal streaming library where you can view all of your purchased videos. For FULL access to our online streaming library, subscribe to our Custom Workout!

Our playlist feature is only available to Custom Workout subscribers. With the subscription, you get unlimited access to our full library of over 300 streaming videos, two new workouts and a personal tutorial from Mary Helen every month, along with the ability to build and save personalized playlists!

Typically when this occurs, it is caused by your browser, internet connection or device software. We suggest running all available updates on both; additionally, we recommend fully clearing the cache on your browser and restarting your device. This will usually clear up any streaming issues!

We want you to be able to get to your workouts as soon as possible. If this doesn’t help, please email us at techsupport@balletbeautiful.com and we will gladly assist further!

Oh no! It sounds like our system is having a problem processing your card. This can happen sometimes with certain international cards or if there is a problem with the billing address.

We would suggest making sure that all of the billing information is entered correctly; if there are any letters in your zip/postal code, make sure they are lowercase. We would also recommend contacting your credit card company/bank to see if they have any additional information about why this error occurred. If none of this helps, we would suggest trying a different card as it may just be a translation error that is causing a communication problem between the banking systems. Please also be sure to email our team at customerservice@balletbeautiful.com so that we can assist. We want to get you up and running with your workouts as soon as possible!

We also offer PayPal as a payment option for all purchases.

You will need to re-subscribe to access your workouts – the most recent payment didn’t go through (usually this occurs when a credit card has expired, been cancelled, or your billing address has changed) so your subscription was automatically deactivated. Once you resubscribe with your updated credit card information your subscription will be live again!

If you have any further concerns, please email us at techsupport@balletbeautiful.com.
